[volunteergrid2-l] Twiki spam

I am thinking about locking down the registration on the Wiki. We've
finally started attracting the wiki spammers.

What I've done on my personal Twiki is restrict access to the
registration page to the group of registered users. That would mean
that an existing member of VG2 would have to create the wiki user
accounts for new users.

It puts a rate-limiting step on access to the wiki, but it relieves me
of having to clean up after the spammers.

If no one has objections to this, I will make this change later this
week. I will also await affirmations before taking this somewhat
draconian step.

In the mean time, I'm going to go do some wiki housekeeping.
